Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to develop scope management strategies and plans, in line with business requirements and organisational strategies, for the delivery of products and services.It applies to individuals with excellent planning and problem-solving skills, working as network engineering staff or senior technical officers within project management roles. They work with new and emerging technologies.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances should be typical of those experienced in the telecommunications networks engineering field of work and include access to:

sites on which projects may be conducted

forecast data and tools involved in planning

a range of software and hardware currently used in industry

relevant regulations and specifications that impact forecasting activities.

Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational education and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
